Importantly this definition references an individual’s conscience. Seditious conspiracy is another matter. Here is the statute: > If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United

I believe the headline is missing a “mistakenly”. Very strange article given the headline.

The bodybuilding.com forums always had something juicy to serve up. Today’s social media really isn’t much different. I find it uncomfortable for the government to yoink any citizen’s access to discussion platforms. I would be more comforta

It’s a $12 bn/yr production. I don’t think that’s perfectly acceptable. Let’s invest in loudspeakers if all we’re doing is shouting at people.

Having met him one time he seemed like just a really intense dude who embodied the chestnut “the CEO is the guy who walks in and says ‘I’m CEO’.” I dunno if there’s more to it than that.

It would seem the air defense systems used could not reliably determine what you imply they should [1][2]. I’m not sure where you’re coming from, or why it would matter what one country was known or not known to do. [1]: https://

“Advocates worry” What are we talking about here? Who are these advocates and why should I listen to their worries over prison personnel?

For another perspective, club members must be interested in forming a club for the benefit of the club. Increasingly we get people interested in putting themselves first and screwing over others.

Well if the Fed Chair did commit a crime, it’s probably better that be investigated and resolved. I wouldn’t put my money in a country where the monetary authorities commit crimes with impunity. I’m not sure what your other points have to d

This is the insight that sold a billion iPhones. They were obsessed with what happens when you’re at the store, and you don’t need a new phone, and you pick one up, and…

Well it didn’t work. I don’t elect my representatives to change human behavior at scale.

Didn’t help that he showed up at his first couple Senate meetings gloating about winning the election. And tried to set working hours for his former colleagues. Among other things.

There’s millions of us and billions of them. I think we’re doing okay.

Unlike Scott Adams, no struggle sessioner cares what black people actually think. They’ve been promised lordship over other men and today line up at his wake to collect. Confused between morality and ethics, their true use is in driving pas

I disagree. Demand is the big problem, not supply. The general public possesses domain-independent expertise on social pressures, institutional and financial incentives, and other non-epistemological factors that in some cases can support

We are not party to the Rome Statute. The US is not going to answer to any foreign power asserting jurisdiction, and that’s just how it will be.

I’d read Madison’s reply. Everyone knows Jefferson talked a lot of shit. The other founders were used to him. This is him getting emotional in Paris during the French Revolution. He thought the proto-Cult of Reason people were a bunch of cr

Wouldn’t it be more effective to phase out oil and coal production? Couldn’t that be enforced with remote sensing satellites and cruise missiles? I’m not seeing the collective action problem here. All the personal shaming stuff feels like a

I dunno, haven’t most populations sometimes gone through boom-bust cycles on the order of a few years/decades? It feels a little absurd to consider only a single ecological factor.

I mean the alternate vision isn’t compelling. “AI safety” has a nice ring to it, but the idea seemed to be “everyone just… hang out until we’re satisfied.” Plus it was becoming a bit of a memetic neoreligous movement which ironically define

You can build a monetary system atop Bitcoin using convertibility. I don’t see what’s so crazy about that. I mean, right now I get paid in fiat controlled by septuagenarians that’s guaranteed to lose value unless I use it to buy assets they

Ethereum miners weren’t very successful at stopping the proof-of-stake transition. Why would Bitcoin miners be any different?

Eh I guess it’s supposed to be water cooler talk for startup founders. The vibe would be different if people stuck only to what they know. We all know we’re ignorant, but it’s more fun to be interestingly wrong than boringly correct. I feel

I think your view is perhaps twenty years out of date. Here’s the GOP platform with some proposals to improve education and reform the tax code: https://prod-static.gop.com/media/Resolution_Platform.pdf I don’t think a

My understanding is that flattening the curve was an argument in favor of social distancing and movement restrictions. It predates mask mandates. A properly trained LLM would miss your masking reasoning. See https://www.nytimes.c
